Necaxa host Puebla at the Estadio Victoria in Aguascalientes in a Liga MX Apertura fixture that carries genuine significance for both clubs as the table begins to take shape.

Martin Varini's side sit 13th in the standings and are in need of a result at home. Los Rayos drew 1-1 with Tigres in their most recent Liga MX outing, a point that did little to ease the pressure after a 1-3 defeat to Cruz Azul the week before.

Puebla arrive in Aguascalientes in ninth place, with Gerardo Espinoza's squad carrying a mixed but not discouraging record. La Franja have won two of their last five matches across all competitions, though a 2-0 home defeat to CF America on August 30 was a sharp reminder of where the gaps still exist.

For Necaxa, the home fixture represents a chance to arrest a run of inconsistency that has seen them win just once in their last five outings. The Estadio Victoria should provide some comfort, but Puebla will not make it easy.

Espinoza's side showed they can be competitive away from home, beating Pachuca 3-2 and Santos Laguna 3-2 in back-to-back Liga MX road games earlier in the campaign. That form will give them confidence heading into this fixture.

Both clubs need points to avoid being dragged into the lower reaches of the table. A win for either side would be a meaningful step toward securing a playoff position before the Apertura reaches its decisive phase.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
